Chapter 597: The Five-Color Spiritual Fruit

Xue Yu could easily guess that Su Che had chosen to take the Five-Color Spiritual Fruit precisely after obtaining his own life immortal talisman—why else? Was there any need to explain further?
Su Che smiled silently, clearly intent on provoking her on purpose. As for the wonderful taste of the Five-Color Spiritual Fruit, there was no need to describe it; no matter how good it tasted, it was merely a sensory pleasure and not truly important. What mattered was the benefits it could bring.
Generally speaking, treasures like immortal herbs and spiritual fruits were foolishly wasted if consumed directly. They had to be used in medicine or pill-making to maximize their effects.
However, this Five-Color Spiritual Fruit wasn’t grown through normal means. It was created through a special process using the energy transformation functions of the sixth layer of the Immortal Prison. In other words, it already possessed the effects of an immortal pill, so it should be consumed directly.
Once the fruit entered his stomach, Su Che immediately felt an immense surge of spiritual energy flowing through his abdomen straight into his dantian, bypassing countless steps and processes.
Under normal circumstances, even consuming a top-tier immortal pill wouldn’t result in such a scenario. After swallowing the pill, its medicinal power would disperse throughout the body, transforming into absorbable spiritual energy. But this energy still needed to be transformed through cultivation techniques to match one’s own true energy attributes. Only after further absorption and transformation could it merge with one’s true energy and be stored in the dantian.
It was an extremely complex process that couldn’t be described in just a few words.
But today, after swallowing the Five-Color Spiritual Fruit, there was no such complicated process at all. The spiritual energy it produced entered Su Che’s dantian directly and, in just an instant, merged with his uniquely special true energy, which combined both fire attributes and chaos traits.
Huhuuh…
A massive amount of spiritual energy kept flowing into his dantian. Su Che immediately felt a sense of fullness—a feeling he was very familiar with. Usually, such an improvement in cultivation level only occurred after months, or even half a year, of seclusion and practice.
“This spiritual energy is absolutely incredible!”
Su Che didn’t dare delay. He immediately sat in seiza position and focused all his efforts on cultivating his true energy, trying not to waste a single bit of the spiritual energy.
What would happen if Xue Yu disturbed him under these circumstances?
As a Great Vehicle stage cultivator with over ten thousand years of cultivation experience, how could Xue Yu fail to realize that Su Che’s current state clearly indicated a significant improvement in cultivation level after consuming some kind of immortal pill?

Generally speaking, in such a state, the worst thing to avoid is being disturbed by others, let alone fighting enemies. If disturbed or engaged in combat, although internal damage won’t occur due to improved cultivation, it will surely cause significant loss and waste of medicinal energy or spiritual energy, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the improvement. “Daring to do this in front of me—are you foolish or bold?” Xueyu’s gaze turned icy as she floated a hundred feet away and asked Su Che in a deep voice. Su Che closed his eyes slightly and focused all his energy on his cultivation techniques. This state didn’t prevent him from speaking, so he replied, “If you want to attack me, just come at me—why waste words?” Su Che’s tough attitude wasn’t an act of feigning calmness; it was because the spiritual fruit he had just consumed wasn’t a precious elixir obtained through great difficulty—there would be more after swallowing one—and it was instead formed from four types of energy. Vital energy, creative force, and chaotic energy were abundant in the Immortal Prison and could never be exhausted even when used to create spiritual fruits. As for the last type, demonic energy, the spatial passage sealed within this silver sphere was constantly emitting it in an endless stream. In other words, none of these energies could be depleted, and the Creative Divine Tree on the sixth layer of the Immortal Prison could produce more colorful fruits at any time. Even if some spiritual energy was wasted from the fruit he had just swallowed, it wasn’t something to worry about. Thus, faced with Xueyu’s threat, Su Che wasn’t too concerned. If she wanted to fight, he was willing to engage her. Xueyu hovered in midair, her dress moving as if in a breeze, truly resembling a celestial maiden descended from the heavens. She hesitated for a moment, then strangely retreated to her original position, clearly giving up on disturbing Su Che. “Boring!” Xueyu sighed softly. “It only caused a little waste—no real significance. I’m too lazy to bother with such trivial actions!” “Actually, I’m looking forward to fighting you,” Su Che said with a laugh. “Who knows? Intense combat might even be more conducive to absorbing spiritual energy. The spiritual fruit I just consumed is very different from ordinary elixirs.” Xueyu snorted lightly, unsure whether he was deliberately provoking her or playing some psychological game.

But anyway, such a person who has just taken a powerful tonic will surely be in a much stronger fighting state once a battle starts—what cultivators call their peak condition, capable of unleashing 120% of their combat strength. Perturbing them at this time may cause damage to the effects of the tonic, but in return, one will face an opponent with even greater combat power than before. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and this principle also applies here. Although Xueyu gave up harassing Su Che, she still kept a close eye on his cultivation progress. Undoubtedly, she didn’t want to see this opponent grow too fast. With each increase in his strength, her confidence would decrease accordingly… A sly smile appeared on Su Che’s lips; it seemed he had seen through Xueyu’s thoughts, silently mocking her helplessness. At the same time, he thought to Lao He, “This fruit is amazing—better than all the immortal pills and elixirs… Lao He, keep creating more fruits—the more, the better!” The effect of the five-colored spiritual fruit wasn’t just about aiding cultivation; it could also help Su Che directly improve his cultivation level. Heavenly-grade spiritual pills with similar effects did exist in the spiritual realm, but they were extremely rare and often came with regrettable side effects. “Alright!” Lao He replied loudly from the sixth layer of the Immortal Prison. At this moment, he was also extremely excited, as the effect of the five-colored spiritual fruit was even better than expected. “Master, the energy conversion function of the sixth layer of the Immortal Prison isn’t just about creating spiritual fruits; it will also have a profound impact in the future,” Lao He said seriously. “I, Lao He, mean no joke at all. I guarantee to you that from now on, the Tree of Fate will bring you surprise after surprise and will never disappoint you.” “Good, I’m looking forward to it!” Su Che replied in his heart. Whoosh whoosh whoosh… Without wasting any time, Lao He drew more of the four types of energy from various places in the Immortal Prison and fed them to the Tree of Fate to help it produce more five-colored fruits. “With these fruits, the master’s cultivation speed will no longer be hindered by the improvement of his spiritual essence. Both the spiritual essence and the true energy will improve simultaneously. It won’t be long before he can advance to the Tribulation Stage.” “Once he reaches the Tribulation Stage, he will be able to wield mythic-level divine skills. At that time, in the mortal cultivation world, he can kill or destroy whoever he wants!”

“A wretch like Xueyu should be able to be killed with just one slap, right?”
“No, she can’t be killed outright. She must be captured alive and thrown into the Immortal Prison. I still have countless ways to deal with her slowly…”
As Lao He infused energy into the Tree of Fate, he imagined various scenes in his mind. Just thinking about it made him feel extremely satisfied and thrilled!
